Next among Tamashii Nations’ webshop exclusive reveals is S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Den-O Wing Form! The fifth form of Den-O, this is used when Ryotaro is possessed by the Imagin Sieg.
Den-O Wing Form comes packaged with a selection of alternate hands, replaceable holstered belt parts, the Dengassha in boomerang and axe modes and finally a Rider Pass.
He can be yours this November at the price of 4860 yen.
Time for a double dose of legendary train hero power-ups from Ressha Sentai ToQger! And it’s also time for TokuNation to test drive it’s newest segment, Toy Tuesdays! Each week on Tuesdays (most of them anyway) we plan to bring you a new toy gallery. This week it just so happens to be a pair of new figures but we’re going to be digging into a back log of rare & vintage toys as well as this segment progresses. So stay tuned!
The recently released DX Kyoryuger & Den-Liner Resshas are featured in the Heisei Rider Vs. Show Raider: Kamen Rider Taisen Featuring Super Sentai film. But each are of course based on heroes of the past! One from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, the other from the first train themed hero series, Kamen Rider Den-O! Each is based on the central mecha of their respective series albeit in a miniaturized form. Combining Kyorguer Ressha with ToQ Oh results in ToQ Oh Kyoryuzin but when you add Den-Liner to the mix you get ToQ Oh Kyoryuzin featuring Den-Liner!
Check out our 40 image gallery for this pair of new Resshas after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.
The first major releases for SH Figuarts this November are confirmed!
The last Kamen Rider Ryuki hero, Kamen Rider Femme (or “Siren” if you prefer) is FINALLY set for release! In addition, Kamen Rider Den-O’s special “Wing Form” will also make the jump to to Figuarts at last!
Both Femme and Wing Form are apparently Tamashii Web Exclusive items, priced at 4860 Yen each. Definitely good news for Figuart Fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details.
Let’s Watch Wednesdays returns! Kamen Rider Den-O is speeding down the tracks. But are we approaching a detour?
Kintaros the mighty bear Imagin is here to stay! And as long as he’s here he’ll continue to make the forces of evil cry as Kamen Rider Den-O Axe Form! But how many more stragglers can the Den-Liner pick up? And while we have questions, what about Hana? Her destroyed future? The secret behind her and Ryutaro being Singular Points? But more importantly (f0r now) it’s time for Ryutarou to be a bodyguard, well Kintaros can do most of the work.
Fun Fact #4
Did you know that each of the Den-Liner Imagin that make up Den-O’s arsenal are all based on Japanese myth/folk heroes? Each of them is based on a unique hero of Japanese lore and this week we focus on big red himself. Momotaros is based on the legend of Momotaro. Sent from heaven floating down a river within a giant peach, Momotaro was taken in by a childless couple. Raised by them he grew up to be a great slayer of the various Oni of myth. Even going so far as to befriend several wild animals, and with their help he invaded the dark island Onigashima, defeated the hordes there and return home with enough wealth to live out the rest of his days comfortably with his family. Momotaros shares a basic peach motif with this hero of legend and his look is in fact based on that of a “typical” oni. Next week we take a look at Urataros’ origins in myth!
As always be sure to join in on our weekly discussion thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Kamen Rider Den-O is ramping up to something big very soon. You just have to watch to see!
Let’s Watch Wednesdays is back at it again to bring manly tears to you. Kamen Rider Den-O meets a new ally this week!
Urataros has joined the Den-Liner crew! But are his womanizing ways behind him? Obviously, not. Yet again he reels Ryutarou into more trouble. But a relationship will be reforged because of him. And Ryutarou must ask why his sister can’t remember something truly dear to her. Buried deep down are memories that bring tears to Airi’s eyes. And speaking of tears, his strength will make you cry! The 3rd Imagin of the Den-Liner appears. Kintaros! And next week, anew form!
Fun Fact #3
Yet another actor you’ve seen before appears in Kamen Rider Den-O! In Den-O actress Wakana Matsumoto portrayed the lovely and idolized Airi Nogami, older sister to our sometimes heroic main character. She would also later play Manami Kawasaki. A Gate, notorious thief, and a bit of a gold digger from Kamen Rider Wizard who would cross paths with our titular hero.

Kamen Rider Den-O has come around for another pass at Let’s Watch Wednesdays! All aboard for more adventures through time!
A new Imagin is on the horizon. A scheming, plotting, womanizer? First we had a peach, now it’s time for a turtle, Urataros is here! This slanderous “hero” has also made a contract with Ryutarou and with it comes a new form for Den-O, Rod Form! Why not let him reel you in? And Owner is also turning out to be quite the odd man. Where exactly does an eccentric rice eating, time-travelling, train owning man come from? Meanwhile a mysterious man with a watch still walks through time. But that’s a matter for much later, or much sooner. Time travel’s fun isn’t it?
Den-O Fun Fact #2
Kamen Rider Den-O featurers yet another toku alum. Seen in the very first episode is the lovely coffee hostess of the Den-Liner, Naomi. But astute fans may have already recognized this woman. Before Rina Akiyama played Naomi, in fact 6 year before this, she played Shouichi Tsugami’s young friend Mana on Kamen Rider Agito!

Ore Sanjou!
Let’s Watch Wednesdays has arrived at a new station. No this isn’t ToQger, but there are plenty of trains and heroes involved. This week we begin our journey through time with Kamen Rider Den-O! Will the next station be the past or future?
Meet Ryutarto Nogami, just a lighthearted accident prone guy with a streak of bad luck. But one whose destined to be special after he encounters a mysterious pass to the train of time, Den-Liner. This chance encounter will give birth to Kamen Rider Den-O! The Imagin, invaders from the future, have appeared. Beings which force contracts with those they posses. Their goal? To grant one wish to those they posses, but in return the hosts’ time and past are stolen.
But at least one of these guys is here for another reason. He just doesn’t care. Give him what he wants or not, he’s here for a good fight. Momotaros is here to posses Den-O and give him his true power! The first (or second) of Den-O’s many forms is born, Sword Form! Join Momotaros, Ryutaro, Naomi, Hana, Owner, and all the rest on this crazy trip through time with Kamen Rider Den-O!
And starting with this week, we’ll try to drop fun facts in for our viewings based on the episodes given. Den-O Fun Fact #1, the actor who would later go on to portray Sid/Kamen Rider Sigurd, Kazuki Namioka, in Kamen Rider Gaim made his first appearance in a Kamen Rider series in episode 3 of Den-O!

But first Urara and Hikaru will finally unite their hearts and lives, their wedding is the peace before the end. The Magirangers are now truly one family.
